About this study

Official title: Influence of Sodium Intake on Left Ventricular-arterial Coupling in Hypertension: Biomechanical Assessment and Modelisation of Left Ventricular Function With Arterial Pressure

The objective of the present study is to asses the effectiveness of the aorta-ventricular coupling according to low and high sodium intake in 28 controled hypertensive patients.

Read the detailed description

Comparison of left ventricular function in two groups of 13 patients according to their different salt's consumption in double blind and crossover study. Performance estimation of the left ventricle by echocardiographic and central arterial pressure by tonometry.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • sodium chlorideDietary supplement

    Patients are given 5 pills (1 g per pill) of sodium chloride per day for 6 weeks. After a one-week wash out period, a second period of 6 weeks is started with 5 placebo (microcrystalline cellulose) pills per day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sodium chloride in people with Hypertension, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ultrasound volume, imaging "strain" and tonometry (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2016.
